Well, back in Miami anyways. After a horrendous day of travel filled with long lines, annoying children kicking the back of my seat and loads of turbulence, I finally made it. Thanks to my foolproof technique for combating motion sickness.

Here's the trick. If when you encounter turbulence you focus your gaze on the wing of the plane it becomes as if there's no turbulence at all. Seriously. I've even tested it. There's something about being able to see the bumpiness that allows your body to anticipate the movement, as opposed to being at the mercy of, what feels like, a 500 ton metal aircraft spiraling out of control. I'm telling you, it works.
